Fully present means we're present for anything and everything: loving, losing, colliding, learning, creating, connecting,
feeling.To be embodied is to come to our senses. To show up and learn to stay with our experience whether it's good or bad, feel our power
and our vulnerability.When we live an embodied life we are fluid, flexible, and free to experience all of the wild and subtle moments that go by, the ones
that are heavenly and the ones that drop us to our knees. To be embodied is to arrive at death in peace, free of regret for having missed our life because we weren't home.

Common Ground

There's an essential movement language we all speak when we take these questions to the dance floor.. We call on
universal elements that are inherent in any moving body, such as breath, gravity, centering, expansion and contraction.

The common ground in the Open floor Movement practice synthesizes the universal wisdom that underlies all conscious
dance practice. Breath, freedom, awareness, connection to others, self-expression, unbridled creativity, community, meditation – these and more can be found on the Open Floor.

Common Sense

Since the beginning of time human beings have gathered to dance. Mindful movement is surging all over the planet because it's good
for us. People who dance regularly have keener minds, greater emotional intelligence, and a calmer presence. Connection, compassion, and communities grow. In this challenging world, common sense
tells us to spend time dancing.

Common Good

The ripple effect is inescapable. One dance can change someone’s day, one act of kindness can inspire a whole
community. Students often leave a session able to bring a more generous presence out into the world. We dedicate our work to the common good, to the benefit of all beings.

Common ground. Common sense. Common good.

This is what we cultivate on the Open Floor.
